Here are a few new songs showing up this week on The Zone for you to put an ear out for.
Ms. Brody Dalle has a new record out now called Diploid Love. She’ll be in Vancouver for a show on Friday, May 23rd at Venue. My homeboy Jon Williams will have an interview so maybe there will be some audio for you next week.
Brody Dalle talks to the Toronto Star about caravanning a tour with husband, Queens of the Stone Age principle, Josh Homme, their kids, and their bands!
“ We get a bus and we’re the family bus. We’re the Hommes. It’s exhausting, but it’s awesome. I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s no time off. Get up at 6 a.m., do the family thing until sound check, play a show, go out afterward, get up at 6 a.m. It’s the best thing ever. It’s everything.”
Fun song, good energy, love the message!

Manchester Orchestra put out a big, meat-and-potatoes rock record called Cope. Chris Freeman talking to the Dallas Observer talks about the bands evolving hard rock sound.
“It is a completely different band now than when we first started. We changed members and we just started getting heavier and heavier. We grew as songwriters and musicians. We just sort of began to hone our craft very well. The sound evolves on each album.”

A couple Vancouver rock and rollers for you to end the post. Vancouver’s White Lung. Hard working punk rock. We’ve had the chance to see them in Victoria a few times. The most recent time that I can remember was when they opened for Fucked Up as part of Rifflandia.
So.Much.Hype….looking forward to their album Deep Fantasy.
New song is called “Face Down.”

JPNGRLS are another Vancouver rock band. Kind of a bratty style the reminds me of Hollerado or PUP. Had the chance to meet them when they came to Victoria in March to open for Mounties at Sugar Nightclub.
Go with yourself.
